Pinal County takes in Kingman prison inmates

MOHAVE COUNTY-Three days of rioting and uninhabitable housing inside the Hualapai Unit at the ADC-Kingman complex has led to Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu opening his jail to house over 300 inmates temporarily.

Sheriff Babeu released a statement via Facebook late Sunday afternoon saying some of his inmates have been moved to a 10 person gang cell in order to help house the Kingman inmates and to help “better manage this volatile DOC population.”

A total of 380 inmates will be housed at Pinal County Jail in Florence until further notice.
